Ways I Destress

This card describes how I felt after the end of the school day. I won't go into detail, but it was nuts and I was stressed and aggravated by the end of the day. I worked really hard, and once four rolled around, it was time to start playing hard.

I went down to the Steel House on the Rondout creek for a Union party. I had enough money for one good drink, so a Grey Goose martini was the drink of choice. It was in a glass that seemed to go forever, and the appetizers were plentiful and I ate enough to carry me through dinner.

On the way home I stopped at the drug store to pick up film, and came across the nail polish display and thought hmmm.....how long has it been since I bought some new nail polish?

After a brisk walk while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, I popped myself into the studio for a bit to make some cards....got my yayas out on a few of them. I make some crazy-ass cards and crack myself up while doing it.

I hear a hot bath calling to me and I think I will finish off the rest of the evening with a long hot soak. Larry bought a few new soy candles home so I will put one on the side of the tub and give myself a hot soy wax rub when I am done. Then I will climb into clean, crisp, new sheets, pull them over my head, and hopefully go somewhere sweet in my dreams.

May tomorrow not be as stressful, but something tells me I had better start planning out my R and R now....

Painter, mixed media artist/designer and teacher, I am middle aged but not middle of the road. I live life with passion, and experience it in all its joys and sorrows. I live for my art and connecting with the beauty of the landscape, the arts, and the love of the people in my life. What an incredible honor it is to make such a journey.
